In a world yearning for authenticity and sustainability, Provenance Lee Interiors has unveiled a textile collection that bridges continents, cultures, and eras—while remaining firmly rooted in Charleston’s rich design heritage. The Marrakech Collection is more than a debut; it’s an invitation to experience eco-luxury through the lens of global artistry, historic preservation, and modern sensibility. As Charleston’s design elite prepare for the exclusive "An Evening in Marrakech" launch event, the city’s creative landscape finds itself at the crossroads of tradition and innovation.
Debby Gomulka: The Visionary Behind Provenance Lee Interiors
At the center of this transformative launch is Debby Gomulka, founder of Provenance Lee Interiors and a name synonymous with sophisticated, client-centered design. Gomulka’s career spans over two decades, marked by a devotion to historic preservation and a talent for infusing interiors with profound storytelling. Her work graces the pages of Traditional Home Magazine, Charleston Home + Design Magazine, and Atlanta Style and Design Magazine, and her influence extends nationally through prestigious designer showhouses and leadership roles, including her place on the board of directors for the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).
Gomulka’s appointment as US Ambassador for the Forum of Innovative Design Association (F-IND) earlier this year, and a nomination to the White House Historical Association’s National Council, further reinforce her authority in the fields of decorative arts and preservation. These accolades are not mere formalities—they signal Gomulka’s active role in shaping the future of design, both locally and nationally.
Birth of the Marrakech Collection: A Journey from Memory to Material
The Marrakech Collection’s inception is as personal as it is global. Inspired by a client’s childhood memories of Morocco, Gomulka set out to create textiles that pay homage to the evocative charm of North African design while embracing modern environmental responsibility. This project became a collaboration with Baxter Mill Archive, a storied South Carolina textile mill with a legacy of traditional craftsmanship.
The collection’s fabrics are custom-designed, weaving together Moroccan-inspired patterns—think geometric mosaics, intricate florals, and earthy palettes—with contemporary, eco-conscious production methods. Every thread speaks to Gomulka’s philosophy: authentic design must tell a story, one that honors both artistry and sustainability.
“Eco-luxury isn’t just a trend for us—it’s a lifestyle,” Gomulka asserts. By working with Baxter Mill Archive, she ensures that the Marrakech Collection is not only beautiful, but also ethically produced, preserving heritage techniques and minimizing environmental impact.
Eco-Luxury as a Movement: Beyond Material to Mindset
In the competitive sphere of luxury interiors, Provenance Lee Interiors is advancing what Gomulka calls the “modern Renaissance” of design. This movement is a direct challenge to mass-produced, standardized interiors that dominate the market. Instead, Gomulka champions a return to bespoke, artisan-crafted elements—pieces that reflect the client’s unique narrative and the designer’s creative vision.
The Marrakech Collection embodies this ethos. Its eco-luxury textiles are crafted from sustainable materials, produced with painstaking attention to detail, and infused with patterns that echo centuries of Moroccan artistry. The result is a line that is both sophisticated and “simply modern”—a signature that has become Gomulka’s hallmark.
- Custom-designed fabrics with Moroccan influences
- Sustainable, eco-conscious production
- Traditional craftsmanship meets modern aesthetics
- Storytelling woven into every piece
The Art of Collaboration: Baxter Mill Archive and Frank Cassata
No major creative endeavor stands alone. Gomulka’s partnership with Baxter Mill Archive brings together the best of Southern textile tradition and contemporary design. The mill’s expertise in heritage techniques ensures that each fabric in the Marrakech Collection is both durable and historically grounded.
For the October 30th launch, Provenance Lee Interiors will join forces with New York designer Frank Cassata. Cassata’s reputation for innovative design complements Gomulka’s vision, promising a fashion show that is as much a cultural event as a commercial unveiling. Guests will be treated to Moroccan-influenced cuisine, live music, and signature cocktails—all set within the penthouse of Charleston’s elegant Palmetto Hotel.
This atmosphere of creative exchange and sensory immersion speaks to the core of Provenance Lee’s approach: interior design is not merely decorative, but experiential, shaping the way we live, feel, and connect.
Charleston’s Creative Renaissance: A City’s Role in Design Innovation
Charleston has long been a crucible of cultural heritage and forward-thinking artistry. Provenance Lee Interiors, founded in 2000, has played a vital role in this evolution, completing notable residential and commercial projects throughout the Southeast. The firm’s commitment to sustainable luxury and historic preservation resonates with a new generation of clients who seek meaning and responsibility in their surroundings.
As the Marrakech Collection prepares to enter select upscale boutiques throughout the Carolinas, it signals a regional—and perhaps national—shift toward design that is both luxurious and mindful. Gomulka’s advocacy for the “modern Renaissance” sets the stage for Charleston to become a beacon for designers who value creative integrity over mass production.
Authentic Design as Storytelling: The Lasting Impact of the Marrakech Collection
In today’s saturated design market, the Marrakech Collection stands out not merely for its aesthetic appeal, but for its commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Each fabric is a testament to the idea that luxury and environmental responsibility are not mutually exclusive; rather, they are two sides of the same coin.
Gomulka’s philosophy—that “authentic design tells a story”—is embodied in every aspect of the Marrakech Collection. From the initial inspiration found in Moroccan memories, to the painstaking collaboration with Baxter Mill Archive, to the curated launch event with Frank Cassata, this collection is a narrative woven in fiber and color.
For Provenance Lee Interiors and its discerning clientele, the Marrakech Collection is more than a product—it is a statement. It challenges the industry’s conventions and invites others to imagine what interiors can become when creativity and conscience work in harmony.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Sustainable Luxury
As Provenance Lee Interiors launches the Marrakech Collection, it sets a new standard for eco-luxury textiles—one that honors heritage, embraces global inspiration, and champions sustainability. Gomulka’s leadership and vision offer a compelling blueprint for the future of design, where authenticity is valued as highly as aesthetics.
In an age of mass production, the Marrakech Collection reminds us that true luxury lies in the singular, the handcrafted, and the meaningful. As Charleston’s creative community gathers for “An Evening in Marrakech,” the city affirms its place at the forefront of design innovation—where every detail tells a story, and every story matters.
